Charming Days & Starry Nights | Taormina, Sicily

Our honeymoon
story starts properly in Taormina as originally planned after catching a flight
from Malta, and getting back on track.

When we
arrived at our accommodation, I was stunned with the night time panoramic view
overlooking the Taormina, magnificent.

After our breakfast
at the Villa Le Terrazze Charming Rooms, we could not refuse a little bit of an easy going
morning and afternoon spent on the terrace relaxing.

The pleasure of having your own terrace and
not worrying if there is enough sun beds or sun chairs nearby the pool –
priceless.

I could get used to it, I thought as I was making myself comfy on
the sun bed with an apple juice and my kindle in the hand.

Sweet
Sicilian memories, I will miss the sun on my face.

Hot Sicilian
sun lowered itself as the day was passing by making walks around the city
centre more attainable. We were welcomed by the mix of architecture and colourful
buildings, which for me are one symbols of Italy.

Walking aimlessly around the
charming streets we stumbled upon the narrowest street in Sicily, Vicolo
Stretto. I could not resist and went up and down the street myself checking if
it is as tiny as the internet claims to me. The test was successful; easily the
tiniest street I have ever had a chance to walk on.

Tempted by idyllic views we stopped for something to eat at La Cisterna del Moro.

I must admit that the views
were fantastic but only a decent amount of wine could try to hide the fact that
food was lacking in flavour.

Going through
the city centre of Taormina we found a few spots to stop by and explore, such
as Porta di Mezzo. The clock tower, which had been previously destroyed, has
been rebuilt with the addition of a new clock; reconstruction only took three
years.

This is also the place where Taormina is separated into the Classical
and Hellenistic parts, read more about city's history.

We spent a
sunny beginning of our honeymoon in striking Taormina, Sicily. This fascinating
place was everything I could have hope for and increased our appetites for more
of Sicily.
